Leading global cleaning platform will provide GTA residents with the ultimate summer gift: more free time.

TORONTO (June 23, 2015) - With summer well underway, the leading online platform for professional household cleaners, Helpling.com, is encouraging its customers to get outside and #SeizeSummer! During the months of July and August 2015, Helpling will be rewarding participating followers weekly with six hours of free home cleaning through a Twitter and Instagram hosted #SeizeSummer photo challenge. Helpling’s ultimate goal is to encourage Greater Toronto Area social media users to get out and enjoy their summer, rather than spending precious down time trapped inside cleaning.

Tweet to win six hours of free cleaning!

Helpling is asking both Twitter and Instagram users to snap a photo of themselves participating in an activity outside of their homes, making sure to tag @HelplingCA while including the hashtag #SeizeSummer. Each week for the months of July and August, Helpling will randomly select one winner on each social network to receive six hours of free home cleaning, providing the gift of more free time to continue enjoying the summer weather!

“As we finally enter the warm months of summer, we wanted to do something special for Torontonians that allowed them to take advantage of their recreational time over the season,” says Helpling managing director Blake Connoy. “After being forced to spend a majority of the winter trapped indoors, we feel the last thing Canadians should have to do is spend their summer free time worrying about monotonous chores like cleaning.”

Since launching in Toronto in December 2014, Helpling.com has served over X satisfied customers in the Greater Toronto Area, providing users with the easiest online solution to conquering their home cleaning. With a 4.7 star (out of 5) rating from their loyal customer base, the $25/hour service connects people with Helpling registered cleaners in their area. Often referred to as the “Uber of household cleaning”, Helpling’s extensive registration process, which includes a cleaning test, background check and personal interview, finding a qualified cleaner has never been easier.

In addition to launching an online platform, Helpling has also made themselves available in app form, which connects with calendar apps, allows for single or recurring bookings, shows when a preferred cleaner is available and features payment via credit card and direct debit. Users can download the Helpling app for iOS by clicking here, or for Android, by clicking here.
